	not sure about the inclusion of the british tv show prison on here. surely porridge - HM Slade would have been a better inclusion as the whole show is set in a prison, rather than something that appears in 1 maybe 2 episodes of the one included.

	this may seem obvious, but the instructions say "can you name the fictional prisons?" ... and all the prison names are given to us.

	@beatrixkiddo That was also my initial thought, but the issue is Porridge is set in a REAL prison, and this quiz is looking for FICTIONAL prisons specific to a show or book.

	Shutter Island is a book by Dennis Lehane, so it should be Book/Movie

	Same is true for Shawshank Prison...it was a book first (Stephen King's Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption).

	belle reeve was also in the smallville tv series

	Can you name the works of fiction in which these prisons appear might be a better title.

	Didn't know City of Heroes is so little known.

	I didn't think Dol Guldur was any sort of prison, but rather just Sauron's stronghold in Mirkwood before he returned to Mirkwood.

	Thanks Sporcle for publishing my quiz. @jpahk, person1234, amwoods13, and funnjokes: Nice catches. Sorry for the mistakes, I apparently wasn't thinking properly when I contributed this quiz. I cannot change it, but I will email Sporcle. Thanks again.

	Seems like "Simpsons" could be accepted without the "the"

	Love the Belle Reve inclusion..

	tigerschick:	Mar 7th, 2011 at 07:09 GMT		2 points
	singin185 - it is. runnergirl35 - azkaban is there; nuremgard is a little obscure for non-diehard fans.

	I'm _very_ surprised Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane ("Silence of the Lambs") isn't on the list.

	Belle Reve was also in Smallville.....might want to accept both answer.

	chikka2:	Mar 7th, 2011 at 18:13 GMT		1 point
	Good idea, though the high percentages proportionate to correct answers indicates a need to include more alternate answers for each prison's source materials

	Ahhh. No Flugendorf Prison from Top Secret? Shame.

	Swapping movie/book to book/movie holds true for Green Mile, LOTR and Potter as well. All were books before they were movies. Also I'm suprised nobody has pointed out that Shutter Island is listed as a Bppl instead of a Book.

	Looks like someone's fingers were one letter off when they tried to type 'book'.

	Citadel is also in Star Wars: The Clone Wars
